Black Lives Matter organizer Pamela Moses was convicted in Nov. 2021 and sentenced to six years in prison in Feb. 2022 for illegally registering to vote in Tennessee, according to prosecutors.
Moses, reported as the founder of the BLM Memphis chapter, had 16 prior felony convictions, making her ineligible to register and vote.
At her Jan. 26 sentencing hearing Moses, while claiming: ““I did not falsify anything. All I did was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election commission told me and the way the clerk did,” was reprimanded by Judge Mark Ward, while issuing her prison sentence, responded: ““You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” Ward said in court last week. “After you were convicted of a felony in 2015, you voted six times as a convicted felon.”
